Destiny, Chance Meeting, Good Fortune or Fate? This story has it all, and a little more…
When I first spoke to Tiffani on the phone several months ago I got a special feeling about her. She had a kind, gentle softness way about her- it was all in her voice. Tiffani was getting married in June and her wedding photographer had a conflict and she now was on the search to find a new one. We met with her and her fiance’, Ostranda, for coffee who now lives out of town. He is down at Duke University completing his residency in Pediatrics. I knew the minute I saw them that I wanted to be their photographer…
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

I wondered about Tiffani’s fiance’, Ostranda, a very unusual and interesting name. I could not wait to meet him and ask him about it. Ostranda and his family are from Liberia, West Africa. His father, a banker, and his brother and sister, both physicians. I asked him about his name, being so unique. I thought it might be a name from his country, if his brother and sister had names like this- he gave out great laugh (he must get this question a lot) and explained… He told me that he was named after his father’s friend, who was not from Liberia, but rather from France, (in case you are wondering), and no he was the only one given this honor, or curse, LOL…
Tiffani and Ostranda met at a friend’s wedding down in North Carolina; Destiny, Chance Meeting, Good Fortune or Fate? Is there a difference?
Their first date was dinner in Old Town Alexandria, they spent the entire weekend together- having a picnic the next day again in Old Town down by the water’s edge, and the rest my friends is a storybook tale. It just felt so right to do their engagement photos here…
